| Just thought there should be a thread on the game since it kicks off in a few hours. Anybody know if the game will be carried live on KRNT?

| WAY TO GO BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mc Bulldog (8/30/2007)
What happened? .. I couldn't listen tonight.
Drake trailed 10-0 at halftime.....fought and scratched their way to a 20-17 lead with about 5 minutes left in the game. Illinois St came down and scored a TD with about 1:30 left in the game. Drake had a penalty on the kickoff, and started from their own 10 yard line. After an illegal procedure penalty, Drake faced a 3rd and 15 from their own 5 and about a minute left in the game.....completed a pass for a first down, then another first down....then a 56 yard TD pass to Augie Agyei on a ball that was tipped.
ISU drove downfield in about 2 plays, but Drake knocked down the Hail Mary pass on the last play.

That's what happened.
So what gets the most attention in the Register tomorrow? The biggest win in Drake's non-scholarship history? Another Iowa State loss? More Iowa preview fluff? Northern Iowa's blowout?

| Wow...great win for the football squad. Wish I coulda made it down I-55, but thursday night games just ain't easy. Bet it's a nice ride home tonight.
As for being the biggest win in non-scholarship history, I'm not sure it's the biggest, but it's definitely in the team photo. Personally, I'll take the win a few years ago over South Florida.
Regardless, beating an MVC/Gateway foe is big-time! Especially the crew from Ab-Normal.

The radio crew called it by far the biggest win of the non-scholarship era. I don't know about that, but I'll go with it. It's great to live in the moment. The win over USF was huge, in front of what had to be the biggest crowd non-scholarship Drake has seen by at least double, but I'm guessing ISU is (supposed to be) a better team than USF was that year.

| Very true McBulldog. Maybe Paul Morrison knows more about Drake football, but he doesn't post on here What do you say LD? Where does this rank on Drake's biggest wins?

A safe assumption...

| This is the buggiest board I've ever seen. I've changed my handle again because of sign on problems. Most of you prefer this one anyway.

What do you say LD? Where does this rank on Drake's biggest wins?
As the SID would say, "this is the biggest win of Drake's non-scholarship era." But why are we still making that distinction? For the most part, Drake football stunk from the time Johnny Bright left until Rob Ash became coach.
The 1973-77 teams won a combined 11 games (including two losses to Dayton, BTW). Even the teams I saw in the early 80s--considered by some as Drake's best ever--didn't stand out to me as significantly better than today's Bulldogs. Size and speed have changed the game in last 25 years...Craig Wederquist, for example, was only 6-3, 250 pounds. Phaydavong could run circles around most of Drake's scholarship backs. So why do they have separate records for scholarship and nonscholarship?
Now that I'm done with my rant, here are my nominees for best wins, in no particular order.
--Mississippi State, 1922...capped 7-0 season.
--Fresno State, 1946 (Raisin Bowl)
--Arizona, 1949 (Salad Bowl)
--Colorado, 1979...beat a bad team, but a big name.
--Iowa State, 1985...only significant because it was last game against the 'Clones.
If I had a top-100, I wouldn't put the Illinois State win on the list.

| Come on Lurkage! .. I was looking for something a lot more upbeat than that! Just because you live so far away that you can't stalk the football players like DUBulldog does the basketball players .... geeeeezzzz.
I would say that this is the biggest win in a long arsh time but I don't want it to go to the player's head. If they can play this well in their first game then I'd think they should be able to achieve some great goals. One game doesn't make a season. But at the same time .. why not celebrate the success so far? .. LOVE IT !!!
I also am taken back a bit by your comment on the late 70's/early 80's .. have you lost your mind? The team that had Busco(sp), Felix Wright, Yestrellski(sp), Talmage Tanks, etc ... That team was a frik'n team boy! ....

| | My b oyz handle their business! No one in our locker room doubted us winning! we knew it would be hard and we would have to execute! All week the coaching staff preached technique, and those fundamentals helped us win! Coach Loney has given us so much confidence as a team, and it is starting to show! He's a great teacher, motivator, and person! |

This is the buggiest board I've ever seen. I've changed my handle again because of sign on problems.
I had similar problems on this board previously.....2 suggestions:
1. Use Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer.
2. If you are using IE, clear the cookies.
Those both worked for me when I had problems logging in

I think you're talking about Frank Butzko (sp?), Gary Yagelski and all those guys. I remember Talmadge Tanks, but Amero Ware was the star back on the 10-1 team of 1981. John Ware, Wederquist, Dennis McKnight, Rafael Soto, etc was a helluva offensive line. McKnight played 10+ years in the NFL.
